Yes I am eating (drinking) a full cup. I have been doing chicken broth, Tomato Soup, yogurt and Protein Shakes. I am really looking forward to Friday when I can start eating blended food. Hoping that something a little thicker will stick and make me feel full longer.

I think she's still on mushies? So, no cups of food yet. Just cups of liquids.

I ate lipton Soup and filtered out some(not all) of the little noodles. Also, I had egg drop soup. The eggs add Protein and fill you up over broth. Probably not on your liquid diet but like Jalangy I was starving and drinking more crystal light or Tomato juice just wouldn't cut it.

I was having the same problem and I got advocare muscle gain Protein Shake and mixed it w 8oz skim milk and 3tbs of non fat powder milk. It is 38grams of Protein. I have it around 7am before work and it literally keeps me full for 6-7 hours. I was so shocked how well it worked and got half of my protein for the day in one shake. My nutritionist was impressed with it also. I can give you my website if you would like to check it out but I love it. Best of luck in your journey!

If you are a new lapband patient you are not expected to lose weight the first 30 days. It's a time for healing, not losing. Don't expect to lose significant weight until you get a fill that helps you to find restriction. The reasons are far too many to list here, but if you do lose weight, it's a bonus.

You need to spread out your Protein. You cannot expect to drink it all in the morning, and not to be hungry at night. Plan ahead. Drink 2-3 oz of protein per hour. That keeps your body knowing that more is coming.

Jalangy, I bought Wendy's chili and put it in my blender (Ninja). Yesterday I made my own chili and I'm having that right now. It's not my regular recipe, but it's so good and 1 cup

Has 170 cals, 6g fat and 12 g Protein. I also went to Whole Foods and bought their chicken enchilada Soup and blended that my first few days on thick liquids.< /p>

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
